Question 1 of 5
After several months of heavy patient loads in the Emergency Department and inability to secure sufficient and experienced staff, the department is especially taxed by a train accident that brings in many seriously injured individuals. You observe that Rama ignores the requests of several of the injured, even when time is available to care for them and is rude to two older adult patients. You are concerned that Rama is evidencing which state?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: depersonalization. Depersonalization is a common symptom of burnout, characterized by a lack of empathy and treating patients as objects rather than individuals. In this scenario, Rama's behavior of ignoring patient requests and being rude to older adult patients indicates a disconnect and lack of personalization in patient care. This behavior can be a coping mechanism for dealing with high stress and heavy patient loads.
Choice B: role ambiguity, is incorrect as there is no indication of confusion or uncertainty about Rama's role in this scenario.
Choice C: depression, is incorrect as the behavior described is more indicative of depersonalization rather than depression.
Choice D: hardiness, is incorrect as hardiness refers to resilience and adaptability in stressful situations, which is not demonstrated by Rama's behavior in this scenario.
